“I’ll be back!” Nelson Chamisa might as well have said, Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger style, when he resigned as president of CCC in a huff complaining Zanu PF had infiltrated his party. Chamisa is back!
“President Chamisa informed the highly subscribed memorial service, that, "I am still active in politics: we are going to form a powerful 'Cyclone' citizen -centred movement’, reported Change Radio.
“President Chamisa's announcement about his next political move has effectively dispelled rumours that he had quit politics. In a bold statement, he reaffirmed his commitment to leading Citizens and championing the interests of the Zimbabwean people. President Chamisa's declaration not only counters misleading narratives but also highlights his strategic focus.
“President Chamisa called for unity and resilience among Citizens, emphasising key issues like economic recovery, social justice, and democratic reforms. This proactive approach is essential in mobilising citizens who are eager for change.
“Furthermore, President Chamisa's active role in the political landscape reflects a renewed energy within Citizens. His leadership and vision are crucial for inspiring a new generation of Citizens committed to democratic governance. As the political climate continues to evolve, his influence will be vital in shaping the future of Zimbabwean politics.”
Chamisa “shaping the future of Zimbabwe”! Since when has Chamisa ever had “strategic focus and vision”? What is Change Radio wittering about?
Chamisa and his MDC/CCC friends have been on the political stage for 24 years, including 5 in the 2008 to 2013 GNU, and they have failed to bring about even one token democratic reform. Not a sausage! Worst of all, they have been participating ing flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering.
When Chamisa stormed out of CCC in January 2024, claiming the party was infiltrated by Zanu PF, everyone with half a brain knew he would be back. Unlike Terminator who returned to “rescue”, Chamisa is back to con his followers to participate in flawed elections giving Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Period!
The “Cyclone Citizen Centred Movement” will not any different from the now defunct Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC). In the past, he conned millions of his followers to participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the dictatorship. Last year he told them that CCC was going to win big because he had plugged all the vote rigging loop holes. It was an idiotic lie and they, being the village idiots they are, believed him. We all know what is coming next!
Chamisa will tell his followers that his psychedelic Cyclone Movement will win big the upcoming flawed 2028 elections. He will assure that this time he has devised winning RIGGED elections strategies. All idiotic lies, of course! What matters here, just as before, the braindead followers believe the idiotic lies! They will participate in their millions giving vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuating the nation’s suffering. We are stuck!
Of course, we are stuck! After 44 years of independence, in this day and age, we ares till failing to hold free, fair and credible elections.
We started well enough with the pre-independence rallying call of “One man, one vote!” Alas! Before the ordinary people had the chance to exercise their right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country Mugabe and his Zanu PF cronies made it clear that if the party did not win the 1980 elections they bush war would continue. Of course, the people voted to end the bush war and with that vote, lost their right to free elections because Zanu PF went on to imposed the de facto one party state.
The nation has had many chances to end the Zanu PF dictatorship. The people of Zimbabwe have risked livelihoods, limbs and even human lives to elect MDC/CCC leaders for the primary purpose of implementing the democratic reforms and end the Zanu PF dictatorship. It is a great pity that Chamisa and his MDC/CCC friends have sold out by not only failing to implement even one token reform but in conning the people to participate in flawed elections to perpetuate the dictatorship.
What makes the opposition leaders’ betrayal even more intolerable is that the people themselves have clearly failed to grasp the political reality that Chamisa and company are now Zanu PF team B in all but name. They are playing for team A to win and get political legitimacy.
After 24 years, including 5 in the GNU, and not even one token change implemented. How anyone continues to believe Chamisa will believe any democratic change beggars belief!
“I’ll be back!” Yes Chamisa is back but only to continue what he and his MDC/CCC friends have been doing these last 24 years - perpetuate the Zanu PF dictatorship!

“Tell me, what did you do to the nation during those period you mentioned. As a man do not wait for another man to do things for you as you are a critic of Chamisa. You don't have even one supporter in this group even Sellaz the Zanu PF machine gun doesn't support your stupidity.”
The concept of those holding public office being accountable to the people is completely alien to a simpleton like you. Actually the concept makes a lot of sense; whatever you do whilst in public office affects the public and so it makes sense that you should be accountable. A simpleton like you views things differently.
For example, Chamisa lied about plugging all vote rigging loot holes to con millions of Zimbabweans to participate in flawed 2023 elections giving Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating the dictatorship. Of course, he must be held to account for it.
To the simpleton, a public leader like Chamisa is a demigod who should not be held to account, no matter what. You motive for asking me to account “to the nation what I have done” is a foolish demand because the nation is not concerned with what I, you, Chamisa or anyone do in their private life! You are making the demand to silence me because I have dared to hold Chamisa to account.
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we, the people, have failed in our sacred duty to hold those in public office to account. It is bad enough that only a few have taken this responsibility with the seriousness the matter demands it is absurd that many of these who have failed to honour their duty of holding leaders to account are so dumb and stupid they regard leaders as untouchable demigods!
No wonder we are a failed state! We really have some stupid people and, to crown it all, they have the voice and the vote!
ZANU-PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has disclosed that the recent push to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa's tenure beyond the constitutionally mandated two terms was largely driven by external forces attempting to destabilize his leadership. Speaking to journalists after the party's 21st Annual National People's Conference in Bulawayo on Saturday, Mutsvangwa emphasized that the slogan advocating for Mnangagwa to remain in office until 2030 was a direct response to these perceived threats.
While Mutsvangwa refrained from identifying the specific external actors allegedly seeking to unseat Mnangagwa, he expressed frustration over what he described as unwarranted interference in ZANU-PF's internal affairs. He asserted that party members were outraged by attempts to orchestrate a leadership change from outside the party.
There is one aspect of this EDfor2030 some people have overlooked: the campaign was launched soon after the 2023 elections result were out to take the sting out of the political reality that Mnangagwa rigged and therefore was illegitimate. So when the possibility of Mnangagwa staying in power beyond 2028 arose stopping that happening was more urgent than arguing over the spilt milk of him rigging the 2023.
The EDfor2030 lure has been so irresistible to the ignorant and gullible they not only forgot that Mnangagwa is illegitimate he has even earned himself brownie points each time he said he had no intention to stay in power beyond 2028 because he “respects the rule of law”!
But of course, no one should rule out Mnangagwa contesting the 2028 elections because his party and the nation wanted him to stay and finish the many development projects he started! Whether Mnangagwa or someone else is the Zanu PF candidate we can be certain on one thing - the party will rig the 2028 elections guaranteed!
Indeed, it is because Zanu PF rigged the 2023 elections and is set to do that again that Zimbabweans should have paid no attention to the EDfor 2030 mousetrap and focused on the very fact the regime is illegitimate and must not be let off the hook. Letting the regime off the hook was a fateful mistake as we can see because the regime is gearing to rig 2028 elections.

Chamisa's political sabbatical is over, he is back and it is business as usual. MDC/CCC leaders have failed to implement even one token reform in 24 years including 5 years in the GNU and have been participating in flawed elections out of greed. Chamisa is back to continue what he and his MDC/CCC friends have been doing all along - selling out!
@ Imbayago Tawanda
“Chamisa chibaba che Zanu zvisinei kuti akati handichina party yandino tungamirira vatsigiri neva tungamiriri ve Zanu habvi pamiromo yavo. Blaming him about the unimplemented reforms but this strengthen him politically because the majority of masses today can't be beaten by cheap politics. Most Zimbabweans are poorer than they were 3 decades ago and employees in public and private sectors are paid far less than the poverty datum line. Zimbabweans knows who is responsible.”
So you think MDC leaders were doing you a great favour by failing to implement even one token reform to end the Zanu PF dictatorship?
Chamisa lied about plugging Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes to con you and millions of others to participate in last year’s elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating your suffering. He is gearing to do the same again in the upcoming 2028 elections. What will it take for the penny to finally drop that Chamisa and company have long stopped fighting in povo’s corner?
No wonder Zimbabwe is a failed state, we really have some stupid people amongst us and, to crown it all, they have a voice and a vote!
Zimbabweans “know who is responsible” for their suffering and death! If they did, they would not have participated in a flawed elections process only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering!
@ Masvingo Mirror
“NYANGA – Elisabeth Valerio, Zimbabwe’s only woman Presidential candidate in the 2023 harmonised elections is soft but steely.This is what many delegates who attended the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) 2023 post election review in Nyanga in September would testify about the president of the United Zimbabwe Alliance (UZA)Almost alone and in a sea of senior Government officials, commissioners, foreign ambassadors and delegates quick to pass last year’s national elections as free and fair, Valerio would stand up at every turn, speak softly but firmly and make her opinion known.
She emphatically told more than 160 delegates gathered at the Troutbeck Hotel that ZEC is a biased referee and she backed that with her party experience at the nomination courts, the campaign trail and the general administration of the election and voting period.A biochemist by training and environmentalist, Valerio is credited with stopping the Chinese from mining coal in Hwange National Park after making a case against the operation with President Mnangagwa.”
Valerio participated in the flawed elections knowing fully well that ZEC was “biased”, there was no verified voters’ roll, etc., etc. and that participating would give Zanu PF legitimacy. Still she participated because she was hoping Mnangagwa would re-establish POLAD and she too would be driving a new twin-cab truck plus all the other benefits! She is just as corrupt as all the other opposition leaders who participated in the flawed elections. What is there in that to be called “soft and steely”?
@ Imbayago Tawanda
“Mdc had never hold executive power ever since it's formation. During the GNU, many services chiefs refuse to salute the Mdc president and were not even rebuked. It's taboo in Zimbabwe for service chiefs to undermine superiors. Zanu were reluctant to implement reforms. Jonathan Moyo was on record saying implementing reforms is as good as removing Zanu from power. Today Chamisa doesn't have political party but even on this platform is the most talked politician. more than those in power which tells his political threat and strength.”
You have been told a thousand times that MDC leaders were in the GNU and could have implemented the reforms if they had resisted the bribes. You will never understand that because not all of us have the intellect to comprehend even when presented with a mountain of evidence. You are one of those unfortunate individuals who without even the common sense much less the intellect.
It is a great tragedy that empty heads like you have the vote! You are the ones who, in your stupidity, are participating in flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuating your own suffering. All this because you keep believing Chamisa’s idiotic lies. What a nightmare!
@ SaMaka
“Wilbert you are Zanu murakashi, you trying so hard to sound hako kuita disturb ma discussion ari constructive. Nyaya yako iyi has no takers. Situation yezimbabwe it's not about reforms kunyepa, Zanu haikoshesi constitution, chero mukaita ma reforms anengeyi zanu won't handover power. Saka plz give us a break nemanyepo ako ayo.”
Really! How is it possible that a modern human being can be this shallow, thick and slow! Blessed are those who see and perceive, who hear and understand for it is not all who see and perceive, who hear and understand!
@ Comrade Bond
“You want to gain popularity by criticising Chamisa, you are a BIG FOOL. Murume mukuru anotonzi baba anomukira nekuswerera kushoropodza umwe murume anodiwa nevazhinji...shame on you.”
Focus on the points raised. Are you denying that Chamisa lied about plugging all vote rigging loop holes? If he did lie then he must and will be held to account - that is not negotiable! What is sad here is that we still have millions of nincompoops like you who still regard Chamisa as a demigod who must not be held to account.
@ Darlington
"They implemented one which was necessary. Two terms limit and you and your party want to go back to Mugabe settings while you want to fool people by pretending you don't know that reform."
We already know that you do not know what the reforms are about much less how they were to be implemented. It is utterly pointless discuss A level stuff with some one in grade one!
@ Godfrey Mushome
"Following Chamisa is a wastage of precious time. Kupedzera hoko pakatehwe keshindi."
The tragedy is there are millions of ignorant and gullible Zimbabweans who are so easily conned they keep believing Chamisa’s idiotic lies and participate in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy.
@ Seke Mpofu]
“Yu are Chamisas forerunner. Why are yu obsessed nemwanakomana uyu.”
What a simpleton. No one is denying that Zanu PF thugs are corrupt and incompetent. What the nation has asked Chamisa and company to do these last 24 years is to implement reforms and stop Zanu PF rigging elections. Zanu PF is still in power because MDC/CCC leaders sold out on implementing reforms. Of course, they must be held to account for it.
The idea that all public leaders are accountable to the people is a bridge too far for a simpleton like you with a binary mentality. You can only see CCC or Zanu PF, right or wrong, black or white. We live in a world with all the colours of the rainbow and you can only see monochrome.
Since Chamisa is not responsible for looting he can do no wrong. How anyone could even say such a foolish thing given Chamisa’s well documented track record of corruption and incompetence!
The very fact that we have millions of Zimbabweans who are so dumb and stupid they consider to be a demigod speaks volumes of these people’s IQ. It also explains why we are a failed state and, at this rate, deserve to remain a failed state!
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1gqxvNbnpQBxB
There are some issues we should be discussing and others we should have agreed on a long time ago. That all those in public office must be democratically accountable to the people is one of those we should consider settled and none negotiable. The very fact that there millions of Zimbabweans who consider Mnangagwa or Chamisa to be demigods who are NOT accountable to the people speaks volumes of how ignorant and stupid these millions are.
As long as we have millions of Zimbabweans out there who consider leaders to be demigods and these idiots have the vote - Zimbabwe will continue to sink deeper and deeper into this economic and political hell-hole we find ourselves in. Educate these idiots or the nation is doomed!
@ Jo
“Start your own party, stop blaming others!”
Zimbabwe is a failed state not because we do not have enough political parties, you nincompoop! In the 2018 elections there were as many as 130 political parties and the number would have been even higher in 2023 if it was not for the exorbitant candidate nomination fees.
Zimbabwe is a failed state because we, the people, have failed to hold those in power to democratic account be they in Zanu PF or opposition. We have brain dead idiots like you who hold leaders in such high regard, they are infallible demigods. How any one can consider a fellow mortal demigod especially some one like Chamisa with a proven track record as corrupt, incompetent and a liar, beggars belief. No wonder we are a failed state!
“Start your own party, stop blaming others!” Having 1 000 more political parties will not stop you believing idiotic lies and participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate your own suffering! Having 1 000 more political parties will not end the curse of rigged elections and bad governance because you and millions others out there will still be village idiots at the mercy of corrupt and incompetent leaders like Chamisa.

Robert Mugabe had one of the highly educated cabinets in 1980 and he himself had no few than 7 University Degrees and yet that was not enough to stop the economic rot predicted by Ian Smith in 1975. "If blacks ruled themselves, people will be walking on sewage and think it is normal!" he said. Not even the 7 University Degrees to take out the primitive man mentality out of Mugabe and company!
@ Themb
“When are you starting your Party and present you ideas and see if Zimbabweans will buy them, clearly Mnangagwa and Chamisa have failed people..
When are you starting your Party?”
This is a discussion far beyond your intellectual level. I raised a number of key issues and you have nothing to say on any one of them.
Zimbabwe had 130 political parties in the 2018 elections and would have had a similar number again in the 2023 elections if the nomination fees had not been so prohibitively high. The many parties did not stop village idiots like you being conned into participating in these flawed elections only to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate the nation’s suffering. As long as Zimbabwe has millions of these brain dead idiots there will be no meaningful change.
You are a village idiot, who has no clue what is happening and so you think increasing the number of political parties is the answer! The spirit is willing but the intellect is lacking.
